Voices at the Top: Sarah Walker Smith’s Leadership Revolution

Voices at the Top: Sarah Walker-Smith’s Leadership Revolution

I struggled to pick one soundbite from Sarah Walker-Smith's interview - there were so many. Sarah is the CEO of Shakespeare Martineau and the only female, non-lawyer CEO in the legal top 55. She was recently named as the UK’s most influential legal CEO on social media.

A strategist with a background in accounting, marketing, and branding, Sarah embodies authentic, inclusive leadership and a relentless focus on unlocking people’s potential. The conversation explores her approach to navigating industry challenges, maintaining a positive mindset, and driving collaboration and fairness to fuel success.

What You Will Learn:
💡 Authentic leadership and inclusion as competitive advantages
💡 Emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and resilient leadership
💡 Stress management and sustaining a positive mindset under pressure

Here’s to your growth and brilliance!
